Comment 1 Stuart D Gathman 2009-01-10 04:48:05 UTC 
Why does a static library need -fPIC ? Because it is commonly linked with dynamically loaded modules.  There is a project to provide a dynamic libmilter.so - but in the meantime, libmilter.a need to be statically linkable with dynamic modules.
Comment 2 Miroslav Lichvar 2009-01-20 18:54:52 UTC 
sendmail-8.14.3-4.fc11 now has shared libmilter. The pymilter package seems to build fine, it just needs to remove -lsmutil from the linking command.
